My Thoughts on the NYC Dept. of Health Crying Boy PSA – Dont make me cry!

Dear Readers:

What do you think of this PSA run by the NYC Dept. of Health?

As a Public Health professional, I understand this ad activates the emotional response of viewers. Yet, I question if such response will activate the desire to lower or de-activate a current high risk behavior, in this case, smoking.

I was that crying child, exactly 31 years ago today… I got to go to church soon and pray for my Dad’s soul. That is why I object to that ad…perhaps my own personal connection…
